First Real overclock.

TheCrow · Aug 30, 2007, 11:24 PM

Well i've been browsing the forums for a while now and in the past have not had too much luck with overclocking (i think my mobo is not so good).

Anyway tonight i went for it and stuck at it.

I have run orthos for 4 hours and am stable so far.
What do you think to my overclock?
The main reason for asking is that i don't know wether to get a new mobo and push for more?
And before anybody says, im not going intel!!

Here's my overclock

That is pretty good. Not sure how much higher you can go though lol

Don't get greedy.

That's a very nice overclock. If you're happy with the temps i'd say to leave it there.

I too have a 5200. I use 252x11 but I hope to go to the 12 multi with good cooling.

I did try for more but i cannot get it to boot into windows any higher.
I am wondering if a better board will be more stable.

On my board i have no way or over volting, etc.

I'm undervolted lol
